A Genshin Impact Xbox announcement has yet to be made.

The Genshin Impact Yoimiya banner rerun will enable Travelers to pull for the Inazuma Pyro Bow character, but is the fireworks-loving 5-star worth the Primogems?

Yoimiya is set to receive a rerun in Genshin Impact version 4.3 second phase. She is quite a powerful unit even today and is often considered one of the best boss-killing characters in the game.

However, she is receiving her banner alongside Raiden Shogun who is by far one of the most powerful units you can pull for. Additionally, in version 4.4, you will get access to Xianyun (Cloud Retainer), which means you might be confused about what to do.

As it happens, we have got you covered in a way where your decision-making will become easier. Here is what you need to know about pulling for Yoimiya in Genshin Impact.

Is the Yoimiya banner worth pulling on?

Yes, the Yoimiya banner rerun is worth pulling on if you want a main Pyro DPS. However, this is only true if you are looking for a Pyro DPS unit that can melt bosses. This is because Yoimiya is not at all good against mobs since her tracking is quite poor.

Additionally, the Shimenawa’s Reminiscence artifact set which is the best one for Yoimiya prevents her from using her ultimate. If she does use her ultimate ability with this artifact set equipped, then she loses out on the DPS from the 4-piece set bonus. Apart from that, her Ultimate is quite weak and not worth using.

The Yoimiya banner rerun will likely prove incredibly popular.

If you compare her to Diluc, she is way stronger than him at this point. Yoimiya synergizes extremely well with both Xingqiu and Yelan. You can also use Bennett or YunJin to enhance her DPS, or Zhongli for added protection. Regardless, there are multiple units she can be paired with which makes her versatile.

One important aspect to consider regarding Yoimiya is that she is worth it even if you have Hu Tao. Her overall DPS is definitely lower when compared to Hu Tao. However, if your Hu Tao is at constellation 0, you will struggle against certain bosses such as Thunder Manifestation, Setekh Wenut, or the Ruin Serpent as you will struggle from stamina issues.

Yoimiya solves that problem as she does not have stamina problems when using her skill. Additionally, she is quite free-to-play friendly as Yoimiya with a Refinement 5 Rust will carry you through the endgame. This means you have no obligation to pull for something like the Thundering Pulse.

So, there you have it, everything you need to know about whether the upcoming Yoimiya banner rerun is worth it. Make sure you check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and guides.
